From a production standpoint this is probably a pinnacle record. Akin probably to Sargeant Peppers or the Studio One output in importance for showing possibilities of the studio and mixing board as instrument and vehicle for creation and production. As an album you are supposed to listen to and enjoy it's not without its problems. Maybe if it's on random it won't be bad.

"On The Corner" was Miles' attempt to reach the young black audience that had eluded him. This also became a very controversial record at the time, but has been defined today as avant-garde with the use of overdubbing, looping and intense dance rhythms.
